Muskan Zaidi: The joy and challenges of motherhood
Becoming a mother is a unique and life-altering experience that comes with its own set of joys and challenges. Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Muskan Zaidi, a 33-year-old mother of two, who shares her journey of motherhood with us. She is our guest mother of the month and we are really delighted to hear from her about her experience
“My journey as a mother began the day I found out I was pregnant for the first time”
Muskan feels that her journey as a mother began the day she found out she was pregnant for the first time. She was overjoyed, and knew that this new phase would be filled with challenges and beautiful moments. She eagerly awaited the arrival of her child, but she also knew that she had to prepare for it.
When asked about how she did it , she said she prepared herself for pregnancy by adopting a healthy lifestyle. She focused on maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, and staying physically active. She also avoided recreational drugs to ensure the safety of her baby. According to her, this helped her prepare her body for the challenges of pregnancy and childbirth.
Despite her preparations, Muskan faced several challenges during her pregnancy. Morning sickness, nausea, and vomiting were some of the common issues that she had experienced. In addition, she dealt with weight gain, stretch marks, and fatigue. The hormonal changes during pregnancy also caused anxiety, which was difficult to manage but despite all these difficulties she persevered and experienced the joy of holding her child for the first time. That feeling she had when she held her child for the first time was just beyond this world; she couldn’t describe how beautiful it was in words.
When asked about the most challenging stage of parenting so far, Muskan shared that it has been balancing her time between her family and career. Being a working mother can be overwhelming at times, and it requires careful planning and organization to ensure that both her family and work responsibilities are met.
Talking about toys
Muskan believes that toys play a crucial role in a child’s upbringing. Toys provide an opportunity for children to explore their surroundings and develop their creativity. In her experience, her children enjoyed playing with bright-coloured stuffed animals and building blocks, which allowed them to learn and develop their fine motor skills.
When her children were young, their favorite toys included soft toys, musical toys, and toys with lights. However, Muskan also recalls a peculiar toy shopping experience when they bought a battery-operated car for her son, which he didn’t enjoy. They realized that he preferred small cars that he could play with, rather than ride-on toys.
As a mother of two young children, she said she understands the importance of providing them with toys that not only entertain but also aid in their development. But as we become more aware of the impact that our daily choices have on the environment, it’s crucial that we also consider the environmental impact of the toys we buy for our children. This is why she highly recommends opting for “green toys” whenever possible.
Your advice to new moms
When asked what would be her advice to new moms, she emphasizes the importance of taking care of oneself. As a new mother, it’s crucial to prioritize your health and well-being. This includes getting enough rest, eating a healthy diet, and staying physically active. She also suggests finding a support system that can help you navigate the challenges of motherhood.
Muskan’s journey of motherhood is a beautiful reminder that being a mother is a unique and life-altering experience. It comes with its own set of joys and challenges, and it requires careful planning and organization to balance the responsibilities of family and work. As Muskan shares, taking care of oneself and finding a support system are crucial to ensuring a fulfilling and rewarding journey of motherhood.
